Job 38:19-38
_ _ The marvels in heaven. “What is the way (to the place wherein) light dwelleth?” The origin of light and darkness. In Genesis 1:3-5, Genesis 1:14-18, “light” is created distinct from, and previous to, light-emitting bodies, the luminaries of heaven. |
Job 38:19
Dwelleth — Hath its constant and settled abode. Whether goes the sun when it departs from this hemisphere? Where is the tabernacle and the chamber in which he is supposed to rest? And seeing there was a time when there was nothing but gross darkness upon the face of the earth, what way came light into the world? Which was the place where light dwelt at that time, and whence was it fetched? And whence came that orderly constitution and constant succession of light and darkness? Was this thy work? Or wast thou privy to it, or a counsellor, or assistant in it? |
